Church Kids R W Hershey

There's trouble in Paradise... Pennsylvania, that is. Cousins Maggie and Simon have a problem: they're surrounded by religion. Maggie's preacher father is a control freak, and Simon's parents are hell-bent on administering a terrible kind of tough love. But this family has some serious secrets, and after the accident things really start to get out of hand. Meanwhile, across town, Al's at his wit's end, restless and strung out. He's a newbie at this occult-magic thing, and despite his misgivings he trusts his shady mentor, Frator Z, that eternal life is just a ritual away. Their stories collide when they leave Paradise, running from their pasts and into a great adventure, as the hunt for an ancient grimoire reveals more than just the dark side of religion. Will Maggie and Simon be able to overcome their family's, and their own, scandalous secrets? Can Al reconcile the ghosts of his childhood with his quest for truth? In the end, they're all Church Kids, and they all need forgiveness.
